Neon Equation SERIES
The Neon Equation Series gathers formulas meant to elegantly describe the nature of the universe, yet are impenetrable to most lay-people. Neon was selected as the medium to make light of the complexity, as it were, and also poke a bit of fun at the art world's uncharacteristically uncritical acceptance of neon works as art. Krypton is a very finicky noble gas, and the electric current causes bubbles and flickering through the glass tubes. It was selected for its inconsistency, as well as for its natural color.
COMMISSIONS FOR KARGO
A commission of three new original works for the Neon Equations Series, these pieces are likewise rendered in Krypton. The works are constructed from scientific equations representing Happiness, Optimal Stopping Theory, and Quantum Cognition. On permanent display at the Kargo offices in Manhattan.
